From Sean Kennedy, Executive Vice President of Public Affairs
National Restaurant Association
Credit card swipe fees are one of the highest costs restaurant operators face—and they’ve more than doubled in the past decade. These fees hurt small businesses, drive up prices for consumers, and limit our ability to reinvest in our teams and operations. Right now, the U.S. Senate is preparing to consider the GENIUS Act, and during that debate, Senators Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) plan to introduce the Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA) as a bipartisan amendment.
Big banks are scrambling to block a vote on the CCCA. We need YOUR voice to push this over the line.
Can you take two minutes to contact your Senators? Urge them to vote YES on the Credit Card Competition Act as an amendment to the GENIUS Act.
This is our chance to stand up for fairer fees, stronger small businesses, and better value for our customers.
My 90-Second Update outlines why this amendment is a game-changer for the restaurant industry.
Thank you for your continued support and advocacy for our industry.
Sean Kennedy
